I had four prospective horses and within one day, Suzanne had ruled out two of them. The first horse turned out to be a stopper, and I canceled my trip to North Carolina for a trial. Suzanne ruled out the second horse after watching videos and speaking with a former pro-rider for the horse, as the horse was deemed unsafe and not suitable for an amateur. I now have the remaining two prospects that I can feel confident going to try as they both passed her investigation. I was thrilled that we saved quite a bit of money, time, heartache and above all, this research helped to keep me safe.”

“I recently had to ‘return to sender’ a pony we had on lease that preferred to run out of jumps. As a result, my daughter was afraid to ride, and I knew that I needed to find a unicorn – a pony that had no pony tricks, was fancy, and above all, would be safe and confidence building. The Equine Private Investigator, working with my daughter’s trainer, researched each of the ponies that we were considering buying. I am happy to report that while many ponies failed, several good ponies passed the ‘safe and fancy’ test. I feel confident that we reduced our risk by using this research service, and we will do it all over again once we’re ready to move our daughter to her next mount. In the meantime, we purchased one of the good ponies that made the cut. This pony is everything we could have hoped for, and my daughter is back enjoying riding again.”
